This lady was in a retirement home,not a nursing home.I know someone who pays $7000.00 a month to live in one——and during March and April here in MA they had lockdowns. Reading “lifenews” does not always give the entire story.

It’s in Oregon and at least one other state. Can’t remember which one but it’s slowly creeping into the United States. Scary. In 20 years, with everything extremely expensive, this will be the norm.

Both would give a thumbs up to canada.

Killed by her own doctor! Unfortunately, that’s a daily occurrence, now that we have legalized ‘medically-assisted dying’. Warning: There is a slippery slope! We not have a medical system where no one can trust their doctor to focus on keeping them alive, and where literal death panels are common. Great for balancing the health-care budget though.

There’s so much irony here, it’s sickening.

You may be right, it’s slippery slope we are on, and yet we have Biden and his death panel.

The other side of this is that are and have been many older patients in nursing homes that have and are giving up and just deciding to die. They don’t need help they are choosing to do and then of course Hospice comes and that is legalized murder in itself.

This is so awful.

[Sons of Union Vets]

Bingo!

The idea of her very selfish creepy family members standing there and allowing her to be murdered instead of making a place for her in their home - even if only for the Winter until lockdowns were no longer mandated - is downright demonic.

Did she have money?

There certainly is merit in what you say. My mother didn't want to become a ‘’burden’’ on any of her seven children but she succumbed to Alzheimer's before long term care(as nursing home care is now refereed to). My father insisted on living his life out in his own home even though he had lost both legs below the knees because of circulation problems so we kids took it on ourselves to regularly stay with him until he passed.

Having worked in nursing homes I've seen dozens of people who had neither the resources or the will to care for elderly parents, many of whom are in advanced stages of dementia.

Not all of people who have to put their elderly parents in nursing homes do so because mom or dad has become inconvenient. For some there's just no choice and many elderly people themselves, who aren't suffering dementia choose to live in such a place. Today they're no longer referred to as ''nursing homes''. If the persons are able to get around on their own with no need of walkers,cane or wheel chairs and are in reasonably good health then they live in ''retirement communities''. If they do have health issues but can get around with the aid of a walker or other device then they live in ''assisted living communities''. And if you're not in good health and not long for this wold then you're put into a ''long term care'' community.
